NY Times brags on Sinclair

At Sinclair Community College, Focus is Jobs

by Steve Greenhouse

Dayton, Ohio- When Todd Sollar was laid off after 11 years at General Motors, he enrolled at Sinclair Community College in downtown Dayton to study robotics.

“Hopefully, with a degree I’ll be marketable for a job,” said Mr Sollar, 32, who has overcome his nervousness about not fitting in because of his age. In fact, he is thriving, gettins A’s and B’s, far better than in high school where he said officials had wrongly pegged him as having a learning disability.

About

DaytonCREATE is a community empowerment organization helping to connect people and ideas throughout the Dayton-Yellow Springs-Springfield region.

We are working to build vitality back into our communities, back into our regional economy, and back into our individual lives.

To do this, we need to recognize our regional assets and build upon the good. We need to speak out about the issues that matter to us. We need to have a dialogue with others whose ideas are different than our own. And we need to get out and participate.

For more information on our beginnings and how to get involved with area projects, read the about page. We are all volunteers around here, and we need you!
